Does ForeverTip Scratch Your Screen?
If you’re thinking about switching to a titanium tip for your reMarkable, it’s natural to ask:
“Won’t metal scratch my screen?”
At ForeverTip, we asked that same question — and designed a solution that wouldn’t just last forever, but would protect the screen it writes on. Here’s how.

⚙ Titanium by design: Strong, but safe
ForeverTip is crafted from aerospace-grade titanium, chosen for its unique combination of properties:
-
Hard enough to never wear down — the tip maintains its shape and smoothness over time.
-
Precisely polished to a sub-micron finish — this eliminates burrs or sharp edges that could catch or drag on the screen.
-
Rigid, not abrasive — titanium resists deformation, so it won’t develop sharp spots the way worn plastic nibs sometimes can.
Importantly, titanium is not as hard as materials like sapphire or diamond — those could damage a reMarkable screen. Titanium offers the perfect balance: durable for the tip, gentle for the surface.
🔬 Contact mechanics: Why shape matters
ForeverTip’s tip geometry is engineered to interact with your screen in a controlled, screen-safe way:
✅ Even pressure distribution — the tip’s curvature spreads force over a slightly larger area, lowering the chance of micro-scratches from point loading.
✅ No debris, no damage — softer nibs can shed microscopic particles that create friction and wear. ForeverTip stays intact, so there’s no debris to cause harm.
⚡ Electromagnetic harmony: No interference, no extra wear
reMarkable tablets rely on electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology. ForeverTip is designed to work seamlessly with it:
-
The titanium tip doesn’t interfere with the EMR field.
-
No electromagnetic noise is introduced that could cause jitter or inconsistent detection (which might otherwise lead users to press harder than needed, increasing wear risk).
-
Pressure sensitivity and precision stay fully intact, so you write naturally — not with excess force that could stress the screen.
🧪 Tested for real-world use
We subjected ForeverTip to extended use on reMarkable devices:
-
Hundreds of hours of writing simulation
-
Microscopic inspection of the screen surface
-
User feedback on feel and long-term interaction
👉 Result: No scratching. No loss of screen texture. No impact on writing performance.
✅ The bottom line
ForeverTip is not just metal on glass. It’s carefully engineered — from the material to the finish to the shape — to give you a lifetime of writing without damaging your screen.
Titanium strength. Paper feel. Zero scratching. Guaranteed.
